こっちも日本人じゃなくてあんまり詳しくないんだけど、この場合には「~が分からない」の方が正しい
「"英語がわからない"」と「"英語がわかれない"」をググって検索件を比べてみてね
ちなみに「分かれる」には「1つのものが2つ以上になる」っていう意味があるんだよ
tj;dr: It's ~が分からない in this case, you can check this by googling "英語がわからない" and "英語がわかれない" and compare the (very showing) search results. Also 分かれる/わかれる means "to split"

Yes, but it's also the potential form of わかる. Is there an actual reason the potential form isn't used here?

My guess would be that 分かる/分からない already implies the ability/inability to understand something, dunno
Did some googling and found this though https://hinative.com/ja/questions/158525
>「I don't understand」の意味は「分からない」のこと
>そして「I can't understand」は「分かれない」のことです。
>"I don't understand," is more natural in most situations.
>"I can't understand" suggests that you do not understand, and you will continue to not understand.

The word cattle comes from the Anglo-Norman catel, itself from medieval Latin capitale meaning 'principal sum of money, capital'.

The word horse horse is from Old English hors (“horse”), metathesis from Proto-Germanic *hrussą (“horse”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱr̥sos (“horse”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱers- (“to run”).

Shark is a semantic extension of the German-derived word Schurke for a "scoundrel".

Owl is from the Old English ūle, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch uil and German Eule, from a base imitative of the bird's call.

The word hare comes from the Old English hara "hare," from Proto-West Germanic *hasan- from Old High German hasan "gray"), from Proto-Indo-European *khas- "gray" (which is the source also of Latin canus "white, gray, gray-haired").

So animal names actually follow the same formula as Pokemon names.

You're right, but a ram is called a ram because it's strong.

Ram: From Middle English ram, rom, ramme, from Old English ramm (“ram”), from Proto-Germanic *rammaz (“ram”), from *rammaz (“strong”).

I'm on a quest to become quadrilingual. Learnt Spanish and English simultaneously while growing up (Spanish being my mother tongue), have been studying Japanese for three years now, and began studying German two months ago. Feels good, man.
Also in college I had mandatory French classes where I got nothing but 9s and 10s, but have since forgotten everything. Now I have Portuguese classes but I loathe the way it sounds and everything about it, so as soon as I pass the final exam I'll completely drop this language. At least with French I'm considering whether or not to pick it up again in the future, but Portuguese is just hideous.

I feel that if spain actually bothered to localize the names from the beginning, the series simply wouldn't have been as much of a thing here as it was. We simply do not have as much potential for cool names, the way I see it. I don't think the french do either, but they at least make an effort to localize their names and get a few names every now and then from doing so, so to each their own.

First, I'm not a Spaniard. Second, I'm not having trouble understanding it, both languages are fairly similar, actually, but it still sounds like ass. My teacher has a lovely voice when speaking Spanish but the moment she switches she starts to sound like a dying chihuahua, not to mention the stupid forced accent in every word. My mother's cousin has been living in Brazil for years and had his kids there, and when they come to visit and open their mouths it still sounds awful. I have no interest learning such an ugly language.

Even if they were just fake made-up names, they would still need to have some meaning in the fictional Pokemon universe. No civilization, real or fictional, would create a word without any sort of meaning.

So like even if there was a pokemon with an entirely "made-up" name like 'Byrzangaltsuri' that would still be a fictional word composed of other fictional words that have meaning in some fictional language

It's still the same language with small variations. That's like saying that because you go to America that they aren't speaking English to you. Sure, it's their version of it but it's still English.
